Doesn't this thread demonstrate the advantage of GUI's??? I created a

At this point I would say sticking with pgAdmin is the best option.


​They both have their places.  It is usually quite difficult to automate and version control the manual work that goes into using command line tools.​


I then got a flurry of well-intentioned tips about the command-line
tool. I tried all of them. I tried them twice. I tried them upside down
and backwards. People then began complaining that I can't follow
directions. Like how many different ways are there to type in a command
and hit enter???

Go back through the thread and look at your responses to specific questions and with an open mind ask whether they answered the question?


I think it was obvious a couple dozen posts ago that there's something
wrong with my PostgreSQL installation or with the command-line tool.

No it was not obvious, otherwise we would not have asked for more information.

​Most of us assumed some form of user-error as opposed to malfunctioning software...it usually takes detail and explanations to rule that out.  When you are using lesser-used (and unofficial) tools the relevant experience to be found on the official lists is likewise hampered.
